im not sure i'm only being logical about this

I think the general rule is if you add a 2 to the end of a game's title you assume it's a direct sequel.

I really hate how I've made more than 12,000 posts here. Thankfully this swaying, moving Chandelure makes it all worth it.[move][/move]

HearGold is currently the only exception (because intercourse who wouldnt want a modern version of the best game in the series)

Buying more than one game per gen doesn't make you an idiot. I can see why you wouldn't want to buy both games in a pair, but what you're not getting is that the same generation doesn't mean the games are anything alike, and that's a silly way to separate them really.

But yeah, you're missing out on games like Crystal and FR/LG. If you're against third games like Emerald, that's fine, but the games really aren't that expensive. I like to buy one game for every release in the series, so I can experience everything. It's not like I have to really work to accumulate $35, and otherwise I'd sort of feel like I'm missing out.

No I'm not missing anything. Saying these games would be missing 90% of the reasons I play pokemon games is no exaggeration.

I put nearly 200 hours into white. I had cleared the elite 4 in under 20. the remainder of the time is spent catching new pokemon, training new pokemon, exploring the effects of new mechanics on old pokemon, etc.

The extra games and remakes give me the same 20 hour story I've already played, plus maybe 5 hours of new content but absolutely zero reason to put in the extra 200 hours again. If I really want to play the story again I can restart the game I already have. I do not spend $30+ for 5 hours of gameplay.
